Who we are

• Bolitho Property Management was set up by Terry and Shona Bolitho and run as a family business until the purchase and merger by The Rent Shop Limited in October 2019. 
• With a clear synergy of business values and the desire to provide the best possible service to our valued clients, the merge of these two highly regarded property management companies delivers a more sustainable and resilient business model. 
• The combination of these businesses will give us access to more resources, more support and new ideas to strengthen the business and be the industry leader in property management in New Zealand. 
• The Rent Shop Limited was founded by Geoff Lovegrove in Auckland and now has a presence across both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, through acquisition and franchising.

What we do

• We look after investment properties and owners’ own homes whilst they are away.
• We offer tenants long term leases, usually of one year to start the tenancy.
• We work Nelson, Richmond, and in the wider Tasman district within 20 minutes drive of the Richmond CBD.

How these values influence our day to day operations

We have a variety of valued contractors whom we work closely with to support our owners and tenants. Any contractor discounts we have negotiated with these suppliers are applied to owners and tenants. The Rent Shop Nelson, does not receive any commission or benefit from any contractors that we instruct to carry out work on behalf of property owners. All our landlords’ funds are kept in a trust account separate to our company operating account. We don’t receive any interest from the trust account funds. We disburse on the first working day of each new month and for each disbursement we include an explanation and invoices for any costs incurred as well as completing an audit trail.
